Regarding the screen recording security prompt, I’m glad that people with a lot of visibility like Jason Snell are raising the issue now, but I’ll get more concerned about it when Sequioa actually ships rather than getting worked-up over a beta.
I believe I read somewhere that Apple has an API for screen recording and that these prompts affect apps using older methods to screen-grab. But that may also have been wrong.
I kind of understand why Apple is doing this, especially after Microsoft’s Recall debacle. It is a potential security issue for anyone to be grabbing screenshots at any time without us being aware. As mentioned in this thread, frequent security prompting can make a bad habit to always hit allow. But only asking once and never again seems also not to be the right answer.
